This fall we will be launching an in-church Bible school. While there are also plans for an adult Sunday School program to begin soon, the Bible school will be a much more in-depth and systematic approach to studying the Bible and Bible-related courses. The purpose of the school is not simply to gain more Bible information, but rather to experience more Christ-like transformation.
Many details remain to be worked out, but currently the plan is for one evening class per week (Thursdays) for 16 weeks (a semester) both in the fall and spring. The courses will require a small tuition charge, textbooks, assignments and regular attendance. We hope to be able to arrange for child care for an additional minimal cost. Arrangements are in the process for these courses to be recognized by Elim Bible Institute.
As details develop, more information will be forthcoming. Right now we want to make those of you who might be interested aware of this opportunity so you can begin making plans well in advance. The maxim is true that “A taught church is a strong church.” I would like to challenge every adult not to consider if you ought to participate, but rather to consider why you would not participate?
Current plans are for the class to begin on Thursday, September 9. The times for the class are 6:45 P.M. – 8:00 P.M.
